The latest news out of Mississippi:
A new poll on Mississippi's pending U.S. Senate races shows Democratic former U.S. Rep. Mike Espy and Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith neck and neck in the pack of two Democrats and two Republicans for the special election to replace Thad Cochran.
It shows Hyde-Smith leading in a potential runoff between her and Espy.
McDaniel on Tuesday decried the poll as "fake" and a "dirty trick."
The poll of 1,000 likely voters was conducted by Triumph Campaigns for Y'all Politicson April 10-11. It shows the following results in a four-way race:
- Democrat Mike Espy: 33.1 percent
- Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith: 33 percent
- Republican Chris McDaniel: 12.8 percent
- Democrat Jason Shelton: 6.2 percent
- Undecided: 14.9 percent
The poll also shows that if it was between just Espy and Hyde-Smith, Hyde-Smith leads Espy 42-36. That’s not impressive at all for a Republican. Now if it was between Espy and McDaniel, Espy would beat McDaniel 43-24. Just like what we saw in Alabama last year, anything can happen and Republicans are safe no where. Let’s be sure to keep an eye on this. Also, click here to donate and get involved with Espy’s Senate campaign.
